O'Malley considered retirement

Sean O'Malley revealed he briefly considered leaving the sport before his victory at UFC 324.

The bantamweight entered the card on the heels of back-to-back defeats and reportedly feared another loss could end his career.

He secured a win at the event, which he says helped confirm he still wants to fight.

O'Malley acknowledged the idea of retiring was a frightening prospect and that avoiding a third straight loss felt urgent.

He also indicated the performance answered whether he can still summon the necessary drive, with future matchups and a possible title shot for 2026 being discussed.
